Worked on improving PCIe stability in the tenstorrent/tt-zephyr-platforms repository by addressing a bug that caused AER-induced system reboots during DMA-intensive workloads. The solution involved disabling the PCIe completion timeout through updates to a binary blob and its associated SHA256 checksum within the module configuration, ensuring system reliability and uptime. This work required low-level firmware development in C, with a focus on device drivers and embedded systems. The approach demonstrated proficiency in binary blob management, integrity validation using SHA256, and Zephyr platform configuration, resulting in a targeted fix that aligns with long-term maintainability and reliability objectives for the platform.

October 2025 — PCIe stability improvement in the tt-zephyr-platforms repo to prevent AER-induced reboots by stabilizing PCIe completion timeout. Implemented by disabling the PCIe completion timeout via updates to a binary blob and its SHA256 checksum in the module configuration. Commit 2e0b1229b7daa35afc82b153c6c4d051141d2aa6 (‘zephyr: blobs: pcie completion timeout disabled’). Impact: reduced reboot risk and improved uptime for DMA-intensive workloads; aligns with reliability and maintainability goals. Demonstrated techniques include low-level binary blob handling, SHA256 integrity checks, and Zephyr platform configuration changes.
